TRYING TOP AVOID THINGS LIKE %^^&(%(^& AND $#7* AND %^$*$^(&(

WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT THE BOARD WANTED.

BTW, JUST LOVE YOU HOW YOU ASSUME ANYTHING IN PRINT THAT CONFORMS TO YOU PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS MUST AUTOMATICALLY BE TRUE.

WELL SIR, IT SIMPLY ISN'T

And I love how you assume that every thing you want to be true is true and everything you disagree with is therefore false.Or maybe that same liberal Jewish man who admires Bannon also has instructed you in the economy and global warming and that's the reason you're always right

Since you don't like or believe the trib, today's times has an editorial"Trump s new team designed to take the low road". not fond of a number of his picks in foreign affairs area. But forgetting those, we have this:Finally there is the trump whisperer, Stephen Bannon.A year ago Bannin was running one of the mist offensive far/right websites in the country....today, he is trumps chief strategist. Bannon brought a lot of that Breibart style-the gleeful trashing if women, Jews, minorities, Muslims and anybody who gets in your way/ to the Trump campaign.

But, you KNOW that thst is simply not true. You put your head in the sand and approve anything and anyone that says he is or someone else says is a republican.And your accuse people in this board of being blind to everything around us. You disagree with ANYTHING that doesn't conform to your opinion- facts be damned!NOTHING changes your opinion - especially facts that you don't like.

BTW, The real problem with this nation is the breakdown of the family. Almost half the children today are born bastards. Neither party has the balls to demand that men marry the mother of their children. Instead, lets pander to the bastards and pretend pregnancy strikes randomly. Anybody opposes, well they must hate women and the poor and minorities blah blah blah. Just think how much better this nation would be if blacks cared about marriage as much as the homosexuals do.

So the problem isn't the political extremes, it is societial de-evolution where people complain about rights refuse accepting responsiblity. Where people think they are entitled without giving a hoot how its paid for. It's abandoning the church and believing morals are relative instead of absolute. It's the pussification of America!!!!!

Not sure the major problem is unplanned teen pregnancies, which have actually declined over the past decade. IMO, it's more kids who are products of a divorce, and that is 40-45% of all parents. Studies show that kids of divorced parents are more likely to have psychological problems, higher suicide rates and will be more prone to divorce themselves if they do marry. In some respects kids raised by one parent from the get-go may be better off as they aren't exposed to constant arguing, physical/verbal abuse and custody battles that can go on between divorcing parents. This cuts across all races, as the white divorce rate is only slightly lower than that of blacks or Hispanic marriages.

Rise of no-fault divorce, which came about to alleviate court congestion from litigating fault divorces, has been a big factor in pushing the divorce rate up. So has more women in the workforce, changing attitudes about sex, and the rise of the "Me first" thinking in the population. Our President-elect, now on his third marriage and a cheater in all of them, is not exactly a poster boy for the stability of that institution. Don't think that disintegration of marriages can be blamed on either liberal or conservative trends.

As to liberals crying foul or "racism", "fascism" at every conceivable slight to a minority or LGBT group member, maybe a lesson was learned in this election. Basing one's Presidential campaign on bashing your opponent's "racism" or alleged intolerance is not a winning proposition.
